A gunman has opened fire on a crowd in Corsica killing one and injuring at least six others.
The suspect shot at police officers in the Corsican city of Bastia before locking himself inside a nearby apartment, according to reports.
Police have surrounded the building.
Three women and two men including a police officer are among those injured, France 3 reported.
French police said there is no indication the suspect's actions were terror-related.
According to local media, the suspect is a man in his 60s and was known to police because he had trouble with his neighbours in the past.

The Haute Corse prefecture said a security perimeter has been set up around the building where the suspect is holed up.
